Hallway Photos

Download Hallway Photos

Two pieces: the iPhone app that backs up your photos, and the host that keeps the family library on a computer you own. Both are free.

iPhone & iPad

The app

Backs up the albums you pick to your family’s host, in original quality, and can free up space once each photo is verified at home.

Coming to the App Store

In review now. This page will link to the App Store once it is live.

Windows 10 & 11

The host

Runs on a home PC and stores the library as ordinary folders and files. One installer and a setup wizard — no command line.

Download 1.0.0 for Windows

SHA-256 a385e5c8f42b99d0fead191d3c15a04561cb77f316c744ca76aa5f99580214de — First public release. Windows 10 and 11. Runs a setup wizard on first launch — link the PC to your hallwayphotos.com account or paste a license key.

How setup goes

  1. Install the host on the home PC and open it. The wizard picks a library folder, links the PC to your hallwayphotos.com account, and creates a local admin login.
  2. Install the app on each phone. The first person signs in as the owner; everyone else creates an account or uses a six-digit invite code.
  3. Pick albums and a backup rule per album. New photos land on the PC, organized and checked, whenever the phone is on your home Wi-Fi.
